Which bouquet should I go for? Vote pls...Pics included...

Beccy Sprout, 29 July, 2009 at 15:09 Posted on Planning 0 27

Right... am having a bouquet dilemma. I know I want orchids. Fact.

But which orchids to go for???

For a bit of background our colour scheme is green and pink. Here's some pics of our chosen items:

OH tartan (damn that yellow!) - he wants a white orchid with a pink centre buttonhole , (well he chose that above the bright pink one at least!!)


Little BM dresses - They will have a little posy of bright pink flowers (orchids, freesias etc) with a little green shamrock (the miniature version, can't remember waht that's called), and a little white orchid with pink centre in their hair.


My CBM has a sage coloured strapless dress so will also have a bigger version of the above little bridesmaids posy.

My shoes are in my avatar.

My dress is this (doesn't look this sheeny in real life!):


Our cake is this, but we'll be having pure pink phalenopsis orchids and not these singapore ones.


Here's a flash of our stationery by Prettywild:


So the bouquets are the choice between these two. As you can probably guess I like hot pink but I don't want to look like a barbie a) ...cos I'm not one, b) I'll be 36 by the time I get married.... but I also worry that the white version will get "lost." and doesn't have enough impact...Help me please!!!


Obviously won't be in a pot!! but will be in the same shape as this white one, and will have the green grass bits as per the pink wire bits in this photo.

    I love the 2nd one, but I love orchids. Have had one as a button in the past.

    Number 2 is stunning. Ask Spring for a picture of her white dress and white orchids and they definitely aren't hidden and their simpliciity makes them even nicer. x

    I think the white will look classier!

    Two two two two two two two two two two (breathe) two two two!!!

    If you wanted to bring the 'green' of your theme, in you could get some beargrass or something similar woven in too ....

    Did I say i liked no two??

    White with the pink bits for me too - the pink against the white background will stand out more than all pink in my view...

    Number 2 for me too. There's enough pink in them to set them off but not too pink so they are too much iyswim.

    I prefer the pink, you'll have a lot of white and think you need to add a splash of colour and the flowers would be perfect!

    Well I am a little biased because I had the white phalenopisis orchids with the pink centre, I don't think they get lost as there is enough contrast withthe pink. From what you ave said about your colours I think either would go but I would probably opt for the white ones.

    Here is a link to pic of my bouquet, may give you an idea.
